| Keywords | Second Temple Judaism Dead Sea Scrolls Rabbinic Judaism Bible |
| Areas of expertise | My main research work is on Second Temple Judaism in general and on the Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran in particular. Because these Scrolls have such important repercussions across several interrelated disciplines, I am also interested in the emergence of both Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity out of the Judaism of the Second Temple period (circa 515 BCE - 70 CE). I have further interests in the theological impact of academic study of the Bible and of Jewish and Christian history on Judaism and Christianity in the contemporary world. |
